The  Study  Outline  and  Its  Use 


The  series  will  include  outlines  on  art,  litera 
ture,  travel,  biography,  history  and  present  day 
questions. 

The  outlines  vary  in  length.  If  more  topics 
are  given  than  the  number  of  club  meetings  for 
the  season,  those  topics  that  are  more  difficult 
to  handle  or  on  which  there  is  less  available 
material,  may  be  dropped.  If  there  are  fewer 
topics  than  the  scheduled  meetings,  certain  topics 
may  be  divided. 

Lists  of  books  are  appended  to  most  of  the 
outlines.  It  would  be  well  for  the  club  to  own 
some  of  the  recommended  books.  Others  can 
be  obtained  either  from  the  local  public  library 
or  from  the  state  traveling  library.  When  very 
full  lists  are  given  it  is  not  necessary  for  any 
club  to  use  all  the  books,  but  the  longer  list  leaves 
more  room  for  choice. 

The  best  material  on  some  subjects  may  be 
found,  not  in  books,  but  in  magazines.  These 
may  be  looked  up  under  the  subject  in  the 
Readers'  Guide  to  Periodical  Literature.  Maga 
zine  articles  and  illustrated  material  may  be  ob 
tained  from  the  Wilson  Package  Library.  For 
terms  see  fourth  page  of  cover. 

A  list  of  the  study  outlines  now  in  print  will  be 
found  on  page  three  of  this  cover.  For  later 
additions  to  the  list  write  to  publisher.

INTRODUCTORY  NOTE 

The  advertising  slogan  ''See  America  First"  has 
greatly  enlarged  the  proportion  of  clubs  that  plan  to 
devote  a  year  to  the  study  of  the  United  States.  An  out 
line  for  such  a  study  program  was  published  in  1908  by 
the  Wisconsin  Free  Library  Commission,  and  was  found 
very  satisfactory  by  many  clubs.  As  it  is  now  out  of 
print  it  has  been  taken  as  a  basis  for  the  outline  printed 
on  the  following  pages. 

It  is  designedly  very  full ;  first,  to  meet  the  needs  of 
clubs  wishing  to  study  in  detail  all  parts  of  the  country 
and,  second,  to  accommodate  those  preferring  to  make  a 
choice  for  a  short  program.  Many  rearrangements  of  the 
topics  may  be  made  without  sacrificing  completeness  or 
proper  sequence  of  subjects,  for  example,  such  headings 
as  "Historic  Landmarks  of  New  England,"  or  "Literary 
Shrines  near  Boston." 

The  sub-topics  adapt  the  outline  to  the  needs  of  those 
clubs  which  expect  all  members  to  study  for  each  meeting 
and  then  join  in  a  general  discussion  under  a  leader. 

Throughout  the  outline,  references  are  inserted  which 
lead  the  club  member  directly  to  helpful  reading,  but 
these  are  understood  to  be  only  a  part  of  the  necessary 
preparation  for  a  well  presented  topic.  Any  encyclopedia 
will  prove  an  invaluable  aid  on  every  topic.  The  Readers' 
Guide  will  indicate  interesting  magazine  articles  on  nearly 
every  subject.  The  government  issues  many  documents 
that  are  more  helpful  than  books  on  the  national  parks. 
Railroads  issue  every  season  advertising  booklets  that 
describe  scenery  reached  by  their  lines.  Rand  and  Me-

Xally  and  the  Foster  and  Reynolds  Co.  (Xew  York)  pub 
lish  guidebooks  at  twenty-five  cents  apiece  that  are  helpful 
for  the  study  of  large  cities.  Constant  watch  should  also 
be  kept  for  new  books  that  will  replace  those  listed  be 
cause  so  little  stands  still  in  this  progressive  country  that 
the  best  description  is  soon  out  of  date. 

To  comply  with  the  recommendation  of  the  League  of 
Library  Commissions,  the  bibliography  appended  to  this 
outline  is  divided  into  two  parts.  The  first  represents  the 
books  most  helpful  for  the  important  topics.  The  second 
contains  titles  that  should  be  consulted  if  available.  Large 
libraries  will  have  many  more  excellent  books  which  may 
supplement  these  brief  lists.

presenting  the  outline:  the  topical  method  which  assumes  that  the  top

tion  method  which  assumes  that  all  members  of  the  club  will  work  i 
unison  and  all  be  prepared  to  discuss  the  questions  given  for  the  meet  in  c 
The  topical  method  calls  for  a  more  or  less  lengthy  bibliography,  wbi!

should  own.  These  required  books  may  be  supplemented  by  a  collators 
reading  list.  In  the  list  given  above,  South  America,  Municipal  Civics,  an>
